Born in Tel Aviv and now based in Los Angeles, Alon Reininger has been an active photojournalist since 1973, when he covered the Yom Kippur War for his first story. Three years later he became a founding member of the photo agency Contact Press Images. Since then he has completed assignments all over the world, often in sites of conflict or political unrest, and he has investigated a range of social issues in the United States, such as immigration and education. Reininger is best known, however, for his groundbreaking in-depth coverage of the rising AIDS crisis in the 1980s. His work played an important role in humanizing the epidemic and bringing it into view as a disease that was not simply isolated in the gay population, as was widely thought beforehand.
A series of images from this project were published in LIFE magazine in 1988, but one photograph in particular—Ken Meeks, Patient with AIDS, Being Cared for by a Friend, San Francisco, California — struck a resonant chord. The photographer flew to see Meeks at his home three days before his death, and in a heart-wrenching picture Reininger captures the ailing man with a haunted look on his face and lesions visible on his arms beneath a hospital gown. The picture was named World Press Photo of the Year in 1986 and became one of the emblems of the crisis. Looking back fifteen years later, Photo District News named it one of the most important images in photojournalism in the 1980s and 1990s. As Reininger has noted, however, he thought of Meeks as a single character in a much bigger story and placed the picture within a broader context. Even after the media's interest in the ongoing crisis began to wane, Reininger pushed for continued exposure.


AMEN SISTER & THANK U!!!
Remember when the car makers said they couldn't put in seatbelts because they would be too expensive? I do and they were lying. The makers of our meters are lying. They don't care about our health just their ungodly profits. The ADA says all meters are accurate, thanks. I just got a rather large drop of blood and was able to do 3 tests with my One Touch Ultra Mini. I got 138-116-122 on the same drop of blood. And of course that is less than the variation they are allowed to call accurate. The medical industry is lying as usual and they control the FDA and the ADA and they're not doing it for your own good.
Sorry to keep publishing but this thing wouldn't recognize my verification until I used the wheelchair symbol, and then it didn't tell me it was successful.


In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, mirin, red miso, sugar and sesame oil. Spread 1 teaspoon of the mixture on each side of the beef slices. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Reserve the remaining marinade.
In a saucepan of salted boiling water, cook the kale until bright green, 2 minutes. Drain and lightly squeeze out the excess water.
On a work surface, lay out a slice of beef with a long side facing you. Place 1 scallion slice across the lower edge. Top with one-eighth of the kale; some of the kale should extend beyond the short sides of the meat. Roll the meat up over the filling very tightly. Secure the roll with 2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining meat, scallions and kale.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Brush the rolls with oil. Oil the grill grate. Grill the rolls over high heat until charred, 2 minutes. Brush the rolls with some marinade and grill for a few seconds more, until glazed.
Transfer the rolls to a work surface. Discard the toothpicks. Cut the negimaki into 1-inch lengths. Transfer to a platter, cut sides up, and drizzle with the remaining marinade. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

How Much Do Cotton Bowl Tickets Cost?
The Cotton Bowl is a postseason college football game. It is one of the New Year's Six bowls which rotate as Semifinal games. As of 2023, Cotton Bowl tickets start at $94 for the least expensive seats. The most expensive Cotton Bowl tickets are listed at $2,895.
Cotton Bowl ticket prices vary widely based on many factors. For example, seats just behind the sideline, or in private clubs or boxes, can change hands for several thousand dollars. Conversely, tickets in the upper reaches of AT&T Stadium can be had for around a hundred dollars, or sometimes less. Also, the timing of the purchase can have a large effect on the price of the ticket. When sales first begin, the least expensive seats for the Cotton Bowl are generally about $50. As resellers and other brokers begin to buy up tickets, the price will likely continue to increase. As a result, those purchasing tickets within the weeks leading up to the game will have to pay a higher price than those who bought as early as possible.
Many fans do not want to buy tickets until they know which teams will be playing, but waiting will often cause them to pay a higher price for their tickets. However, there have been instances where ticket prices dropped shortly before the game, especially when the teams playing in the game are traveling a long distance.
Historically, the Cotton Bowl has been one of the most expensive bowls in terms of ticket prices. In 2011, it had the highest average ticket price of all bowl games, except for the then-BCS Championship. The participating teams (Arkansas and Kansas State) being a short drive away from Dallas contributed to the high ticket prices in 2011.
The Cotton Bowl Classic is held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, home of the Dallas Cowboys. The stadium is famous for its gigantic center-hung video board, which is 50 yards long. The stadium has four tiers, those being the 100, 200, 300, and 400-levels. Generally, tickets will be less expensive as you go higher up the stadium. There is also a standing-room party section available on the 400-level, which is home to the least expensive tickets for the Cotton Bowl.
Students, university donors and employees usually have access to discounted flat rate tickets for designated sections. Since the Cotton Bowl Classic is one of the most famous bowl games, it is usually sold out.
What are the most expensive Cotton Bowl tickets?
The most expensive Cotton Bowl tickets of all time were listed for $34,285. These tickets granted access to the Owner's Club Suite at AT&T Stadium for the 2022 Cotton Bowl between Alabama and Cincinnati. This incredibly high price not only granted access to the private suite, but also included unlimited complimentary food and drink.
What are the least expensive Cotton Bowl tickets?
The inaugural Cotton Bowl in 1937 had the least expensive tickets of all time. For a reserved seat in the old Cotton Bowl stadium, a football fan could expect to pay just $2.20. In 2023, this would equate to about $44 when adjusted for inflation. The first person to ever purchase Cotton Bowl tickets was Dr. George I. Bennett, who was a chiropractor in the Dallas area.

Jack Lester Pre Forest Green Rovers

Town boss Jack Lester spoke to the media yesterday afternoon ahead of this evening's clash with Forest Green Rovers (7.45pm). As usual there were a number of topics up for discussion here's a flavour of what Jack had to say.........
On Saturday's victory: "It was a good result, the character of the team was excellent and I thought that the energy levels were high and the football was good at times.
"I don't think it was as good as we've played in the last few weeks, but the character was where it needs to be.
"Our performances have been improving and we're a match for anyone."
On Scott Wiseman's dismissal: "His first booking was for time wasting, which depends on who the referee is on the day if they get given.
"The second one is a yellow card and it means that Scott loses his place in a winning team and it gives an opportunity for somebody else to come in and take a place, do really well and stay in it.
"The way the lads have been training, they've been so good the difficult thing for me is leaving them out of the team and wanting them to maintain those levels of attitude for each session. Training has been excellent today (Monday), we were in yesterday (Sunday) and there was a group who didn't play the 90 minutes and they were excellent. So there's really good signs, whoever comes in and plays really well will keep their place."
On a rocking Proact: "Some of the players who've signed recently won't have seen what's possible in this stadium in terms of the noise we make and getting behind the team when we're in a position to be giving the fans a team to be proud of.
"I'm excited for the players for what they'll be playing in front of, I think this could be really tough place to come and play, I've been here when the fans really get behind you and we can be out of sight by half time.
"We're not there yet, but I do think that we're not far away from giving a team a bit of a hiding, I think the performances, attitude and the way they train guarantees performances will be rising as you've seen."
On Ian Evatt: "I can only judge on what I've seen and he's been excellent.
"He's fitter and leaner than when I first came in – as they all are – but the way he reads the game and the voice he has in the dressing room, his attitude in training has been right out of the top drawer.
"He's been excellent and made himself captain for the way he's trained; I can't speak highly enough of him."
On Forest Green: "They've picked up really well, they had a difficult start – as did we – and are picking up – as are we.
"It'll be a good game of football, we're excited about it, it's another home game and another chance for the fans to see where we're trying to go with this and we're more than ready for it."
On building something special: "I think if we'd have been in the top seven with how we've been playing nobody would be surprised by that.
"We're definitely trying to build something, we're nowhere near where we'll end up because we won a game on Saturday, the staff are very focused in what we're trying to produce in terms of a football team and how it needs to look and the standards of each individual player.
"I think the players are aware of what's expected of them and I'm hoping that the fans are starting to see glimpses of what's going on. We're excited about the future, we really are, we can't wait for the game tomorrow night, we're going to build something special.
"We've always said it's going to take time, we're nowhere near where we're going to end up."
Chesterfield vs Forest Green Rovers on 21 Nov 17

Changes to Campus COVID-19 Safety Measures
Dear Faculty, Staff and Students –
Last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that "fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing." And today, the City of Lincoln and Lancaster County are dropping their requirement on the wearing of face masks indoors.
We will be following their scientific conclusions and safety recommendations. Starting today, those who are fully vaccinated from COVID-19 will not be required to wear a face mask, indoors or outdoors, on our UNL campuses or in our facilities. We will also no longer require social distancing and will return to 100% capacity for all of our venues.
It is very important to note — these changes only affect those who are fully vaccinated. As Dr. Fauci stated, "It's an assurance to those who are vaccinated that they can feel safe, be they indoors or outdoors."
Without vaccination, an individual remains at risk for the impact of COVID-19 which can include hospitalization, long-term health impacts and death. If you have not yet been vaccinated, I would strongly encourage you to do so. Vaccines are readily available locally through the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and local pharmacies. It is far and away the best way to protect yourself. Those on our campuses who are not vaccinated are expected to continue to wear face masks and practice social distancing.
For many, this opportunity to live more freely is one of joy and relief. It's also a moment that came sooner than some expected. It's natural, after being vigilant for so long, that even those who are fully vaccinated may feel more comfortable continuing to wear a mask and may choose to do so. Our UNL community successfully navigated this pandemic thus far not only because of our ingenuity, hard work and flexibility, but also because of grace. We are a place where every person and every interaction matters.
As we all ease back into more pre-pandemic ways of life, work and learning, I ask you to continue to treat each other with grace and goodwill.
Ronnie D. Green, Ph.D.

The most important thing is to immerse yourself. I know not everyone is lucky enough to study or work abroad for a stint, but try and surround yourself as much as you can with your target language. When I was in uni my study breaks consisted of French movies and crappy Greek soaps, I listened to the radio and tried to pick out words I knew, watched cheesy youtube videos of pop songs with their lyrics and then looked up words I didn't know. If you can learn to learn while you're not officially studying you'll progress so much quicker. And you no longer have to feel embarrassed about having Enrique Iglesias on repeat….
Redecorate your house/room. Posters explaining the difference between ser/estar, post-its on random objects to remember their names, or just randomly placed words that you can't quite get to stick. The Greek word for journalist is ingrained in my mind after seeing it written on my friend's fridge in second year.
Don't rely on one method/source. Things like Duolingo are great, but even if you meet your daily targets you will not learn to speak a language this way. Same goes for any course book/ grammar guide/online videos. Instead, use a combination of methods and different websites so that you don't get stuck in a rut. Sign up for blogs and online dictionaries that send you a word a day and take online quizzes to keep you on your toes.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who studied French at GCSE and then realised that no one actually says 'comme si comme ca' irl. Read newspapers, blogs or whatever you can get your hands on so that you learn the real language that people actually use.
Better still, find a native speaker to practise with. Most unis have an Erasmus society where you can sign up to be a buddy to a foreign student, or even just a language exchange system. If you're not a student (I feel your pain) then try leaving an advert on local noticeboards/facebook pages.
Use a monolingual dictionary when looking up vocab, and accept that in most cases, there's no such thing as a direct translation. I thought my teacher was crazy when she first suggested this, but it is one of the most helpful habits I've picked up. Although a bilingual dictionary may be quicker and easier to use, words have different nuances in different languages, and simply accepting that x=y is only going to set you back in the future, especially if you study translation. Learning the etymology of a word also helps me remember it, as it helps me make associations.
Find out what works for you. For example I have to write things down several times to retain them. If I'm learning a new grammar rule I have to paraphrase it, write it down, possibly draw a diagram, and then colour code it. It's all about finding ways to trick your mind into remembering things, draw pictures, make word associations… If you use the right techniques you should be able to visualise your notes when you're trying to recall the information.
Make lists. And more lists. Carry a small notebook around with you and make a note of words you don't know. List new words you've learnt, or ones you had to look up whilst reading. Read over the list, and make a new list with the words you still don't know. Then read over that list and make flashcards with the words you still don't know. If there are some that you really struggle with then write them on post-its and stick them by your bed. You know it's working when they start popping up in your dreams.
Get organised. If your class notes are chaotic (mine always were) take the time to copy them out neatly, re-arranging them if necessary and dividing them into topics. I always have a file or a notebook with 4 sections: 1. Grammar rules 2. Verb tables 3. New words 4.Mistakes. I also re-arrange them as part of revision so that I'm studying subject areas rather than random vocab.
Learn from your mistakes. It's a language teacher's cliché, but mistakes aren't always a bad thing. Take snowboarding for example, a cautious border could make it straight down the mountain without falling over once, while his friend who is popping tricks off the side of the piste lands a 360 but is covered in bruises. Who is the best border? Ok we don't know for sure, but we do know who made the most progress. I find that it helps to keep a list of the mistakes I've made, alongside their correction/ an explanation of how I went wrong. (We're talking strictly language based btw, or I'd never leave the house) Read through them now and again, but make sure you memorise the correction and not the mistake itself!
Don't put too much pressure on yourself. While it's definitely a good idea to set realistic targets, it can also be difficult to measure your progress. Don't freak out and try and overload your brain as that can be counter-productive (been there!) Frustration and feeling like you're not learning quickly enough are totally natural, but just take a step back and remember that this is supposed to be fun, and you're probably taking in way more than you realise. And if that doesn't work, just look at this lama!!!


New Delhi: A 58-year-old Indian-American teacher was sentenced to 11 months in jail, which he has already served during the trial, for the wire fraud scheme involving the hiring of Indian nationals to teach in the US.
George Mariadas Kurusu was sentenced on Wednesday in Alpine, California, and was ordered to pay $53,000 restitution for the wire fraud scheme, the American Bazaar online reported.
Kurusu has been in federal custody since his arrest in May 2016. He pleaded guilty in January to wire fraud, fraud in foreign labor contracting, making a false statement on a visa application and tampering with a witness, victim or an informant.
Kurusu admitted that from December 2012 to May 2016, he defrauded several individuals of over $50,000 for a "visa package" provided by a company he owned which promised H-1B visas, teaching jobs, and the maintenance of those jobs and visas for his victims.
According to court records, Kurusu, an H-1B visa holder, established a separate company, Samaritan Educational Services (Samaritan), in violation of the H-1B visa rules.
Kurusu, who worked as a Maths teacher at Fort Stockton High School in Fort Stockton, Texas, also lied on an application to renew his visa, according to officials.
He allegedly placed advertisements via newspapers in Hyderabad, India, providing services for a fee to individuals who were seeking teaching positions in the US.
Kurusu led applicants to believe that they had to go through his company in order to both obtain a visa and a job.
He acted as a middleman between the applicants, the State Department, the issue of visas, and the Fort Stockton Independent School District (FSISD).
He made the victims believe that not a single penny of the amount they pay for the visa processing went to him.
On the contrary, Kurusu filed the applications for a nominal fee and routed the rest to his pocket.
In order to ensure that no information on his scheme is leaked, Kurusu used to tell his victims not to mention to the State Department they enlisted the services of Samaritan.
Victims were also instructed not to contact FSISD directly, but only through him.
Finally, when the victims would reach the US, Kurusu made them set up a bank account and an Electronic Transfer of Funds (ETF) system.
Prosecutors say Kurusu took 15 percent from victims' paycheck and threatened deportation for those who complained.

Given the strong connection between culture and the natural ecosystems of the Wet Tropics, Rainforest Aboriginal People feel very strongly about threats to the health of these natural systems.
This is because it also threatens the health of their culture and impacts on their own personal and collective wellbeing.
They also have grave concerns about the impact of pests and weeds on their cultural values and sites.
Traditional Owners consider pigs, cane toads, introduced fish species, rabbits and cats as having a negative impact on plants and animals of cultural significance.
Feral animals such as pigs can have substantial impacts on places of cultural significance and resources used by Aboriginal people.
On the other hand, some Traditional Owners consider feral pigs an important food source which raises concerns about the use of poisonous baits and highlights the need to involve Traditional Owners in any planning process.
To date, there has been little work to determine the nature and extent of the impact of feral animals on Aboriginal values.
Another area of concern is the impact of weeds on fish species and stream health. Aboriginal people have different values for determining the significance of weeds than non-Aboriginal people.
There is a consistent call from Rainforest Aboriginal People for better partnerships with government and community in the management of pests and weeds, including the provision of employment opportunities.
Many Traditional Owners have undertaken training through government funded programs and are work-ready and passionate about making a difference. There are already some excellent examples of Traditional Owner groups undertaking important work in the management of pests and weeds.


The Agricultural Officers must see that the farmers cultivate suitable crops in coming Rabi season for getting better yield and profits, said District Collector DS Lokesh Kumar here on Thursday.
Khammam: The Agricultural Officers must see that the farmers cultivate suitable crops in coming Rabi season for getting better yield and profits, said District Collector DS Lokesh Kumar here on Thursday. The Collector chaired a review meeting with agricultural officers here at Collectorate Conference Hall to discuss the cultivation of suitable crops in ensuing Rabi season.
Addressing the officials, the Collector said "Officials must suggest farmers to go for cultivation of suitable crops in the Rabi season instead of cultivating the paddy." "Due to fake chilli seeds, as many as 3,300 farmers faced a loss in 1,780 acres of land. Prepare a report on the loss faced by the farmers in the previous season and take initiation for providing compensation to such farmers from the seed dealers who sold them spurious seeds," ordered the Collector.
"The Agricultural Officers must observe the publicity given by the seed dealers to attract the farmers for cheating them and must take necessary actions against them and permit only those dealers who posses licence to sell their seeds. The officers must take the photographs of a farmer along with his field who faced loss due to fake seeds or due to natural disasters and must attach them with the report before submitting them," ordered the Collector.
District Agriclutural Officer Jhansilakshmi Kumari, Horticultural Officers R Srinivas Rao and Gingu Mariyanna and Agricultural Officers of various mandals were present at the review meeting.

New Orleans is Now Closed
Thanks to Hurricane Katrina, everyone must leave New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS - The governor of Louisiana says everyone needs to leave New Orleans due to flooding from Hurricane Katrina. "We've sent buses in. We will be either loading them by boat, helicopter, anything that is necessary," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said. Army engineers trying to plug New Orleans' breached levees struggled to move giant sandbags and concrete barriers into place, and the governor said Wednesday the situation was growing more desperate and there was no choice but to abandon the flooded city.
"The challenge is an engineering nightmare," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
A helicopter view of the devastation over Louisiana and Mississippi revealed people standing on black rooftops, baking in the sunshine while waiting for rescue boats.
..."Oh my God, it was hell," said Kioka Williams, who had to hack through the ceiling of the beauty shop where she worked as floodwaters rose in New Orleans' low-lying Ninth Ward. "We were screaming, hollering, flashing lights. It was complete chaos."
Looting broke out in some New Orleans neighborhoods, prompting authorities to send more than 70 additional officers and an armed personnel carrier into the city. One police officer was shot in the head by a looter but was expected to recover, authorities said.
A giant new Wal-Mart in New Orleans was looted, and the entire gun collection was taken, The Times-Picayune newspaper reported. "There are gangs of armed men in the city moving around the city," said Ebbert, the city's homeland security chief. Also, looters tried to break into Children's Hospital, the governor's office said.

Only thing worse to overhear during
a strangers coughing fit is
"I should get the TB results tomorrow..."
Which reminds me of the days when I worked at Children's Hospital Reseach Foundation. Early each morning, this elderly janitor would go around each floor of the building, emptying wastepaper baskets. I could track his progress by the sound of his wet, hacking, gargling cough; it could have been used as a sound effect for a Dickens movie.
Each morning, when he'd stop by my workstation, I'd say, "You really ought to get that thing checked out. It sounds really bad, like maybe it's TB."
He'd say, "Nah, it ain't nothin' but allergies."
Then he'd hobble off, muttering to himself between coughing sessions, and spitting blood into his handkerchief. I'd take my surgical mask off, and wonder who I should report him to. Then I'd get too busy to worry about anything as simple as public health concerns, and spend three hours arguing with my then-advisor about how little time I was spending at work (about 16-18 hours a day).
The Joke Everybody Likes
I'm so horny and lonely these days that I drive up and down the streets, yelling out the car window: "Fuck me. Fuck me! FUCK ME!"
And since this is Chicago, people shout back, "Yeah, buddy, FUCK YOU!"
The Joke No One Likes
A guy walks into his psychiatrists office and says, "I keep thinking of killing myself, but I'm so incredibly phobic. I'm afraid of guns, knives, heights, being crushed, needles, poison, deep water, shallow water, and fire."
The psychiatrist thinks about this for a minute, and says, "Well, you like cats, don't you?"
It was something I was going to eat
Had a very weird, very intense series of dreams last night, which couldn't have been caused by anything I ate, since I'd only had a banana and some milk for dinner. The dreams culminated in a very strange series of images "designed by British comedians to be as horrifying as possible": news presenters wearing gas masks, penguins driving penny farthing bicycles, and a "washing machine with a cartoon face and accordion tubing legs screaming 'I am giving birth' in the voice of Michael Palin." It was like a bad trip without the drugs.

Supposedly, people who do lots of yoga don't gain as much weight, partially due to the exercise, but also because of the increased sensitivity to the way their body feels before and after eating. It's certainly true that I couldn't sleep for hours afterwords, and kept waking up with bad food karma.
Lucky for me, I didn't buy a new sofa, or I'd have had furniture chasing me in my dreams that night.

Novartis to sell long-held stake in Roche for nearly $21B
Novartis intends to sell its stake in fellow Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche, a transaction expected to net billions of dollars for Novartis to invest in its business.
A shareholder of Roche since 2001, Novartis owns 53.3 million bearer shares of the company's common stock, representing about one-third of all total outstanding bearer shares. The plan now is to sell each share for $388.99, for a total value of $20.7 billion. Novartis, which paid around $5 billion for the stake, said it will report a gain of approximately $14 billion from its sale.
Over the past several years, there has been speculation about the Roche stake and whether Novartis would sell to free up cash for dealmaking or added research and development. Under CEO Vas Narasimhan, Novartis has moved away from business lines like consumer health, generics and eye care, opting instead to focus on higher-margin branded prescription drugs.
Novartis acquired its stake in Roche over a two-year period in the early 2000s, when the company was led by Daniel Vasella, an integral figure in the merger between Sandoz and Ciba-Geigy that ultimately established Novartis in 1996.
At the time, the investment created considerable buzz. Novartis and Roche were natural rivals, each running some of the world's largest pharmaceutical businesses from headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. That Novartis would pour billions of dollars into Roche hinted, to some, the possibility of a future merger between the giants.
But a tie-up never happened. Two decades later, the companies remain stiff competitors. In the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for example, Novartis' Kesimpta is presenting a fresh challenge to Roche's Ocrevus. And in spinal muscular atrophy, a relatively new pill from Roche threatens to take market share away from Novartis' Zolgensma gene therapy.
For Novartis, the past few years have been a time of transition. In early 2018, shortly after Narasimhan took the reins from Joseph Jimenez, who himself succeeded Vasella in 2010, the company decided to sell its stake in a joint consumer health venture with GlaxoSmithKline for $13 billion.
The next year, Novartis spun its Alcon eye care unit into an independent company. And during its most recent earnings call, the big pharma said it's considering offloading the Sandoz generic drug business, which has struggled to generate consistently higher profits.
These moves have, in turn, allowed Novartis to put more resources and attention into its "Innovative Medicines" division, which is responsible for finding and developing higher-margin branded prescription drugs. Kesimpta and Zolgensma are part of that division, as are the heart failure medication Entresto, the anti-inflammatory agent Cosentyx, and the breast cancer treatment Kisquali.
During the third quarter, Novartis reported net sales of $13 billion, a 6% increase year over year that was driven by the performance of the Innovative Medicines division.
Now, Novartis says it doesn't see the Roche investment as in tune with the company's core business. Sale of the stake will therefore provide a cash windfall that Novartis believes will help further build on its strategy.
"After more than 20 years as a shareholder of Roche, we concluded that now is the right time to monetize our investment," Narasimhan said in a Nov. 4 statement. "Today's announcement is consistent with our strategic focus and we intend to deploy the proceeds from the transaction in line with our capital allocation priorities to maximize shareholder value and continue to reimagine medicine."
Novartis' share price was relatively unchanged Thursday, whereas shares of Roche, which trade on the Swiss stock exchange, were up a little more than 2%.
The sale still needs to be approved by Roche shareholders during a meeting to be held on Nov. 26.
In its own statement, Roche said that it intends to cancel the shares repurchased from Novartis after completion of the repurchase. The company noted, too, how the transaction would not change control of the company, but rather increase the voting power of the pool formed by shareholders of the company's founding families to 67.5%.
Additionally, the sale would increase the percentage of shares held by the public from 16.6% to 24.9%.

Soprannominato Il Pendolino dai tifosi della Roma , è considerato uno dei più forti terzini destri di tutti i tempi.

Nel corso della sua carriera, iniziata nel 1989 al San Paolo e successivamente proseguita tra , Palmeiras, Roma e Milan, ha vinto numerosi titoli sia a livello nazionale che internazionale, come due Coppe Intercontinentali nel 1992 e nel 1993, una Coppa delle Coppe nel 1995, due Supercoppe UEFA nel 2003 e nel 2007, una Champions League nel 2007 e una Coppa del mondo per club FIFA nel 2007.

È uno degli unici tre calciatori della storia, insieme a Ronaldinho e Dida, ad essere riuscito a conquistare, almeno una volta, UEFA Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Coppa del Mondo FIFA, Copa América e Confederations Cup.

È primatista assoluto di presenze con la maglia della nazionale brasiliana, con la quale vanta un quinquennio da capitano (2002-2006), 142 presenze e 5 gol. Si è laureato per due volte campione del mondo, nel 1994 e nel 2002, per due volte campione d'America nel 1997 e nel 1999 e per una volta vincitore della Confederations Cup nel 1997.

A livello individuale è l'unico giocatore nella storia del calcio ad aver disputato consecutivamente tre finali del campionati del mondo. Nel 1994 è stato nominato calciatore sudamericano dell'anno. Nel 2004 è stato inserito nella FIFA 100, una lista dei più grandi giocatori viventi, selezionata da Pelé e dalla FIFA in occasione delle celebrazioni del centenario della federazione. Nel 2009 è stato inserito nella "squadra ideale del decennio" dal Sun. Nel 2013 è stato incluso nella formazione più forte della storia da parte della rivista World Soccer. Nel 2014 è stato inserito dal quotidiano inglese The Guardian nella lista dei 30 migliori calciatori che «hanno lasciato un segno» nella storia dei campionati del mondo. Il suo nome figura sia nella Hall of Fame ufficiale della  che del . Nel 2020 è stato inserito da France Football nel Dream Team del Pallone d'oro come miglior terzino destro della storia del calcio.È stato inoltre ambasciatore del Mondiale del 2022 disputato in Qatar.

Biografia
Cresciuto in una famiglia disagiata, nel quartiere di Jardim Irene, intraprende molto presto il cammino verso la carriera calcistica con il soprannome di Cafu, in onore dell'ala brasiliana Cafuringa, idolo del padre. Nel 1999, mentre giocava per la Roma, intraprese gli studi in economia presso l'European School of Economics della capitale.

Rimasto coinvolto nello scandalo dei passaporti del 2001, fu condannato a 9 mesi con la condizionale: rinviato a giudizio nel 2004, assieme al presidente Franco Sensi, venne infine assolto nel 2006.

Il primogenito Danilo è morto il 4 settembre 2019 all'età di trent'anni, colto da infarto durante una partita.

Caratteristiche tecniche
Era un terzino destro di spinta, dotato di grande velocità e abilità nel cross, caratteristiche che lo rendevano estremamente efficace nelle sue incursioni offensive. Nella sua lunga carriera ha ricoperto anche ruoli più avanzati, come l'esterno di centrocampo in un 3-5-2 e l'ala destra in un 3-3-3-1.

Carriera

Club

Inizi e San Paolo
Entrò in gioventù nel vivaio del Nacional, per poi passare a quelli della Portuguesa e dell'Itaquaquecetuba. Nei primi anni 1980 venne rifiutato dalle giovanili di varie squadre, come il Corinthians, il Palmeiras e l'Atletico Mineiro, fino a quando, nel 1988, entrò nelle giovanili del San Paolo, con cui vinse il torneo giovanile della Coppa San Paolo.

Esordì in prima squadra e nella Série A brasiliana per sostituire l'infortunato terzino destro Zé Teodoro. A 19 divenne titolare, grazie a Telê Santana che ne individuò le ottime doti e dunque non esitò a promuoverlo. In quegli anni si formò come terzino destro, ma giocò diverse partite anche da centrocampista e a volte addirittura da attaccante, risultando sempre il migliore, e perfino il capocannoniere della squadra. Dal 1989 al 1993 conquistò il campionato brasiliano nel 1991, due Coppe Libertadores nel 1992 e nel 1993 e infine, nel 1993, la Coppa Intercontinentale contro il Milan. Nel 1994 fu nominato Calciatore sudamericano dell'anno.

Real Saragozza e Palmeiras
Nel gennaio 1995, fresco Campione del Mondo con il Brasile, si trasferì in Spagna al , con cui vinse la Coppa delle Coppe. Con il club spagnolo disputò un totale di 19 partite.

Nel maggio 1995 la Parmalat acquistò il cartellino del giocatore per poterlo inserire nella rosa del Palmeiras. Tuttavia, per evitare una possibile ammenda da parte del San Paolo, che al momento della cessione del giocatore aveva inserito una clausola che gli impediva di ritornare subito in Brasile a giocare per un'altra delle maggiori squadre pauliste, la società lo tesserò dalla Juventude, altra squadra che sponsorizzava, con cui Cafu disputò solo due partite. Nel successivo mese di giugno si trasferì dalla Juventude al Palmeiras, con cui giocò due anni sotto la guida di Vanderlei Luxemburgo, uno fra i più bravi allenatori brasiliani, vincendo il titolo di campione paulista nel 1996 e continuando a migliorarsi sul piano tattico.

Roma

Negli anni 1990 Falcao fu consultato dalla Roma per delle consulenze su Cafu e Zago fornendo in entrambi i casi delle relazioni favorevoli. Nel 1997 il terzino brasiliano fu acquistato dalla società giallorossa per 13 miliardi di lire.

Esordì in Serie A in Empoli-Roma (1-3), prima giornata del campionato 1997-1998. Dal punto di vista tecnico e tattico, dimostrò di essere compatibile con i rigidi schemi dell'allenatore boemo Zdeněk Zeman, fautore di un gioco rapido e molto offensivo improntato sul 4-3-3, mostrandosi disposto al sacrificio e alla corsa.
Dopo solo un mese in Serie A era già considerato uno dei migliori stranieri del campionato e i tifosi giallorossi lo ribattezzarono il Pendolino per la sua infaticabile corsa lungo la fascia destra, che lo portava di fatto a essere spesso un attaccante aggiunto .

L'11 aprile 1998 realizzò il suo primo gol in Serie A nella sconfitta all'Olimpico contro l'Inter (1-2).

Con l'arrivo sulla panchina giallorossa del tecnico Fabio Capello la Roma adottò il modulo 3-5-2 e Cafu poté spostare ulteriormente il suo raggio d'azione nella trequarti avversaria . Gli anni con Capello costituirono per Cafu un periodo di sempre maggiore responsabilità nella squadra giallorossa, sia dentro che fuori dal campo. Il 3 ottobre 1999 realizzò la sua prima doppietta in Serie A nella vittoria per 1-3 contro la Fiorentina, sancendo dopo venti mesi la fine dell'imbattibilità interna dei viola.

Titolare inamovibile della Roma che vinse lo scudetto nel 2001, in quella stagione realizzò una delle giocate più famose della sua carriera, un triplo sombrero ai danni del biancoceleste e futuro Pallone d'Oro Pavel Nedvěd durante il derby della capitale Lazio-Roma del 17 dicembre 2000 vinto dai giallorossi 1-0 . Nella stagione 2001-2002 aggiunse al suo palmarès la Supercoppa italiana e nella stessa stagione esordì in UEFA Champions League contro il Real Madrid nella prima gara della fase a gironi. In quella stagione fu spesso messo in ballottaggio con Panucci per il posto di titolare.

Il 13 marzo 2002 segnò all'Olimpico il suo primo gol in Champions, quello del pareggio contro il Galatasaray nella penultima gara della seconda fase a gironi.

Alla fine della stagione 2002-2003, chiusa dai giallorossi a metà classifica in campionato, la dirigenza capitolina decise di non rinnovargli il contratto, lasciandolo libero di accasarsi a parametro zero. .

Milan

Dopo aver rifiutato una sostanziosa offerta da parte del club giapponese dello Yokohama Marinos, nell'estate del 2003 si accasò a parametro zero al Milan. Andò così a rafforzare la difesa rossonera che già da un anno necessitava di un terzino destro naturale. Infatti, in quella posizione il tecnico Ancelotti fu quasi sempre costretto a impiegare prima Šimić e poi Costacurta.

Accolto con iniziale scetticismo dalla tifoseria rossonera per la sua non più giovane età, Cafu vinse però subito le diffidenze diventando titolare e sfoggiando ottime prestazioni. Esordì in maglia rossonera il 3 agosto 2003 nella partita di Supercoppa Italiana 2003 contro la Juventus, persa ai rigori. Il 29 agosto 2003 conquistò il primo trofeo con i rossoneri: la Supercoppa europea 2003 contro il Porto. Il 21 dicembre realizzò invece il suo primo gol con la nuova maglia nella sconfitta casalinga per 1-2 contro l'Udinese. Il 6 gennaio ritornò a Roma da avversario e fu accolto dai fischi della tifoseria giallorossa: «Mi aspettavo tutto - dichiarò il brasiliano - e nessun problema. Ai fischi non ho neanche fatto caso e non mi hanno affatto ferito. L'importante è aver vinto. Simili accoglienze nel calcio avvengono, fanno parte del gioco, non è facile per i tifosi accettare che un giocatore di spicco cambi maglia». Nella stessa partita, vinta dal Milan per 1-2, uscì anticipatamente dal campo per un problema muscolare. Il 2 maggio 2004 vinse il suo primo scudetto con i rossoneri (e il secondo personale) a due giornate dal termine del campionato grazie alla vittoria per 1-0 contro la Roma. Con 41 presenze tra campionato e coppe risultò tra i giocatori più impiegati da Ancelotti.

L'arrivo di Stam nel mercato estivo del Milan all'inizio della stagione 2004-2005 costrinse Ancelotti a ridisegnare la difesa rossonera. Cafu dichiarò che avrebbe lottato per un posto da titolare e che era disponibile a giocare anche in un ruolo più avanzato. Il 21 agosto 2004, in occasione della Supercoppa italiana vinta contro la Lazio, esordì la nuova difesa rossonera con Cafu e Nesta riconfermati nei loro ruoli originari (terzino destro e difensore centrale), Maldini spostato sulla fascia sinistra e Stam nel ruolo di difensore centrale. Nonostante questa fosse la difesa titolare, in più occasioni Ancelotti preferì lasciare Cafu in panchina e invertire i ruoli di Maldini e Stam da terzino sinistro e difensore centrale a difensore centrale e terzino destro Il 24 novembre 2004 Cafu realizzò un assist per Kaká nella quinta giornata della fase a gironi di Champions League contro lo Šachtar e giocò titolare a sorpresa (per via del forfait di Stam) l'ottavo di finale di andata contro il , risultando uno dei migliori della sfida vinta dai rossoneri per 0-1. Fu impiegato titolare anche nella storica finale di Champions persa contro il Liverpool ai rigori.

Il 25 luglio 2005, durante l'amichevole contro il Chelsea, Cafu si infortunò al ginocchio sinistro. Il 20 novembre 2005, nella sfida di campionato contro la Fiorentina a Firenze, entrò nella ripresa per sostituire Stam e si infortunò nuovamente al medesimo ginocchio. Fuori per più di due mesi ritornò titolare in -Milan (3-0), dove risultò uno dei migliori nella delusione generale. Cafu raccontò in seguito che questo fu il periodo peggiore della sua avventura rossonera. Gli infortuni calarono il suo rendimento e la malattia del padre non gli permetteva di entrare in campo con la giusta mentalità. Nel mese di febbraio fu sottoposto a intervento in artroscopia in Brasile alla presenza dottor Massimilano Sala, il medico sociale del Milan. Il recupero fu lungo e si concretizzò solo nel mese di aprile. Ebbe così l'occasione di giocare, sebbene da subentrante, le due semifinali di andata e ritorno di Champions League contro il Barcellona che sancirono l'eliminazione del Milan dalla coppa.

Nella stagione 2006-2007 vinse la UEFA Champions League contro il Liverpool, ma non scese in campo nella finale perché Ancelotti gli preferì il neoacquisto Oddo. Le sue confortanti prestazioni di fine campionato convinsero la dirigenza rossonera a puntare ancora su di lui. Nella stagione 2007-2008 visse un lungo ballottaggio con Oddo. Il 31 agosto 2007, pur non scendendo in campo, vinse la Supercoppa europea contro il . Il 16 dicembre 2007 giocò gli ultimi minuti della finale di Coppa del mondo per club contro il , finale che i rossoneri vinsero per 2-4. Il 16 maggio 2008, nel corso della trasmissione televisiva Segni Particolari in onda su Milan Channel, Cafu e il connazionale Serginho annunciarono l'addio al Milan e il giorno seguente Cafu scrisse una lettera aperta per salutare i suoi tifosi. Il 18 maggio giocò la sua ultima gara con la maglia rossonera contro l'Udinese, ultima giornata di campionato, realizzando tra l'altro anche il suo ultimo gol tra i professionisti.

Nazionale

Cafu debuttò con la maglia della nazionale maggiore il 12 settembre 1990, in una gara amichevole contro la . L'anno dopo fu convocato dal C.T. Falcão per disputare la Copa América 1991. Giocò titolare 4 delle 5 partite disputate dalla Seleçao, che concluse il torneo al secondo posto.

Nel 1993 venne convocato dal C.T. Parreira per disputare la Copa América 1993. Nel 1994 realizzò il suo primo gol in nazionale durante l'amichevole vinta 8-2 contro l'. Nel 1994 venne convocato da Parreira per disputare i Mondiali 1994. Esordì il 4 luglio 1994, entrando nel secondo tempo al posto di Zinho nell'ottavo di finale vinto contro gli . Sempre da subentrante giocò, seppur per pochi secondi, i quarti di finale vinti contro i . La sua consacrazione come titolare avvenne con l'infortunio di Jorginho, dopo soli 22 minuti della finale vinta ai calci di rigore contro l'Italia. Cafu giocò una partita sufficiente, cercando di ripetere i danni fatti con il San Paolo al Milan nella finale dell'Intercontinentale.

Con il C.T. Zagallo divenne titolare del Brasile e disputò da protagonista la Confederations Cup 1997, che i verdeoro si aggiudicarono nella finale vinta per 6-0 contro l'Australia. L'anno successivo fu convocato per i Mondiali 1998. Alla vigilia del torneo, per rincuorare i suoi compagni ed esorcizzare la paura, Cafu dichiarò:

Il 16 giugno 1998, nella seconda gara della fase a gironi contro il , realizzò l'assist per il momentaneo raddoppio di Rivaldo. Il 3 luglio, nel quarto di finale vinto contro la , rimediò una doppia ammonizione che lo costrinse a saltare la semifinale contro l'Olanda. Disputò invece la finale persa per 3-0 contro la  padrona di casa.

Nel 1999 vinse la Copa América 1999 sotto la gestione di Luxemburgo, allenatore che lo aveva già allenato al Palmeiras. Nel 2002 venne convocato dal C.T. Scolari per i Mondiali 2002. A causa dell'infortunio di Emerson ereditò i gradi di capitano della nazionale verdeoro. L'8 giugno 2002, nella seconda partita della fase a gironi contro la , realizzò l'assist a Ronaldo per il definitivo 4-0 in favore del Brasile. Il 26 giugno, nella semifinale contro la , risultò il migliore dei verdeoro che, imponendosi per 1-0 sugli avversari (gol di Ronaldo), si qualificarono per la finale contro la . Scendendo in campo nella vittoriosa finale contro i tedeschi, Cafu diventò il primo giocatore nella storia del calcio a disputare la terza finale mondiale consecutiva.

Nel 2006 venne convocato da C.T. Parreira per i Mondiali 2006, nonostante fosse al rientro da un grave infortunio al ginocchio. Nella partita d'esordio contro la  risultò uno dei migliori in campo e servì l'assist a Kaká per il definitivo 1-0 in favore del Brasile. Il 18 giugno, scendendo in campo contro l', Cafu eguagliò il record detenuto da Dunga e Taffarel: 18 presenze nella Seleção durante la fase finale dei Mondiali. Il 27 giugno, negli ottavi di finale contro il , realizzò un altro assist, stavolta per Adriano, e diventò il giocatore brasiliano con più presenze in assoluto nei Mondiali. Il 1º luglio 2006 disputò il quarto di finale contro la Francia che sancì l'eliminazione del Brasile dalla competizione. Nonostante la stampa di settore riconobbe la sua prestazione la peggiore dell'intera rosa brasiliana, Cafu dichiarò di non avere alcuna intenzione di lasciare la Seleçao: «Penso che per la nazionale brasiliana non sia arrivato il momento di aprire indiscriminatamente ai giovani. Ci vuole una giusta miscela tra vecchi e giovani, esperienza e freschezza, e allora perché dovrei smettere? No, io non mollo. Il mio sogno è arrivare al Mondiale 2010». Tuttavia, quella con la Francia fu la sua ultima partita con la maglia verdeoro, anche perché Dunga, nuovo C.T. e suo ex-compagno di squadra, non lo convocò mai.

Nella sua lunga carriera con la maglia verdeoro disputò 142 incontri, il che lo rende tuttora il giocatore che vanta il maggior numero di presenze.

I have eaten them almost every week since I found the secret to great pancakes. I just love them.
I really love pancakes when they're smeared with a bit of peanut butter or with cream cheese and homemade jam.
And with maple syrup, of course.
Pancakes are perfect for hiding fruits and vegetables. I like to chop up apples or fresh peaches and put them in the batter. I like to put crushed pineapple in sometimes, or even chocolate chips. Nuts are always nice, too.
My friend, Allie, gave me her recipe for pumpkin pie pancakes, and I loved those, too. I really can't think of anything I don't like to put in pancakes.
If you're trying something in the batter that you've never tried before, be careful of how much liquid you add. Some foods (especially fruits) are more juicy than others and will dilute the batter.
Last week, I saw a delicious-looking recipe in my new Cooking Light magazine for Carrot Cake Pancakes. The recipe was sorta complicated, so I changed it all around. What else is new?
We had these for breakfast over the weekend, and they were delicious.
Grace ate three of them, all by herself. That's saying something. They're not all that carrot cake-like, but they are good.
In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, nuts, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, stirring with a whisk.
Combine brown sugar, oil, and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add sugar mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
Fold in 2 cups carrot.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon batter by 1/4-cup-galls mounds onto pan, spreading with a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 1 minute or until bottoms are lightly browned. Be careful not to undercook them or the carrots will be crunchy. That is not so pleasing to the palate.
Repeat procedure with remaining batter.
Serve warm with butter and syrup, with cream cheese, or with honey butter.
Make sure the pancakes are done. These really taste the best when they're thoroughly cooked and the carrots get a little soft.
Those look and sound delicious!
Tara, I bet these are awesome! Thanks for linking up!
AWESOME!!! way to have a GREAT!!! breakfast. THANKS!!! for the recipe.
Come by and visit so you can enter my giveaway.
These sound delicious!! I have to give these a try!!
I love carrot cake! Stopping by from TTMT to check out everyone's tasty treats.
My son loves pancakes and I think these would be great to make for him now and then.
We have been having all kinds of pancakes lately but I have not been this gutsy yet – that pumpkin pie recipe looks yummy.

Q: CW complex is connected iff 1-skeleton is connected Let $X$ be CW-complex and by $X^n$ I denote its n-skeleton. Here is my attempt to prove that connectedness of $X$ and $X^1$ are equivalent.
First, assume that $X^1$ is not connected, which means one can represent $X^1$ as disjoint union of two closed subcomplexes. Let $X^n$ be not connected. We prove by induction that $X^{n+1}$ is not connected. Indeed, consider $X^n$ with $(n+1)$-cell attached. If one assumes that this space is connected, than he would consider the boundary of the cell attached, which is contained in $X^n$ by $C$-axiom of CW-complex. The boundary contains cells from both of disjoint components (because otherwise connectedness of the n-skeleton with cell attached would be violated), which contradicts with its connectedness. Thus, each $X^n$ is not connected and then $X$ also is.
Now let $X^1$ be connected. If one of $X^n$'s is not connected, then it can be represented as disjoint union of two subcomplexes, whose 1-skeletons (their union is $X^1$) are disjoint and closed; contradiction.

Fundación Presencia hosted its first Civitas Regional Institute workshop for the Latin American and Caribbean region from April 4–5, 2011 in Bogota, Colombia. The workshop focused on a Project Citizen and Human Rights adaptation developed by Fundación Presencia in close cooperation with the Civitas Latin America network.
As a result of the workshop, a student manual and training of trainers guide for pilot testing in the region has been developed. In attendance at the workshop were coordinators representing twelve Latin American and Caribbean countries as well as special guests from the United States. One of these guests, Linda Ricketts, was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy to share her experiences as an education and training professional through a session entitled "Challenges in Human Rights Education at the Secondary Level." In addition to reviewing and discussing the new material through intensive working group sessions, the workshop served to renew the network's collective strength and commitment to expanding civic education efforts in the region.

Massachusetts High Court Upholds Text-Suicide Conviction, But Doesn't Rule on Assisted Suicide
By Matt McDonald | February 6, 2019, 13:31 EST
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2019/02/06/massachusetts-high-court-upholds-text-suicide-conviction-but-doesnt-rule-on-assisted-suicide/
In this Aug. 24, 2015 file photo, Michelle Carter listens to defense attorney Joseph P. Cataldo argue for an involuntary manslaughter charge against her to be dismissed at Juvenile Court in New Bedford, Mass. Carter, 18, of Plainville, Mass., is charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly pressuring Conrad Roy III, 18, of Fairhaven, Mass., to commit suicide on July 13, 2014. (Peter Pereira/The New Bedford Standard Times, Pool, File)
The highest court in Massachusetts has upheld the conviction for involuntary manslaughter of a teen-age girl who repeatedly urged her boyfriend to kill himself, saying the commonwealth has a "compelling interest in preserving life."
But the court said it was not ruling on assisted suicide in cases where there is a terminally ill patient, which is currently illegal in Massachusetts but is the subject of a court challenge and a bill in the state Legislature seeking to make it legal.
"Only the wanton or reckless pressuring of a person to commit suicide that overpowers that person's will to live has been proscribed. This restriction is necessary to further the Commonwealth's compelling interest in preserving life," wrote Justice Scott Kafker for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
Michelle Carter, then 17, of Plainville, exchanged a series of text messages four and a half years ago with Conrad Roy, then 18, encouraging him to follow through on his suicidal impulses.
One night in July 2014 Roy intentionally generated carbon monoxide in his truck while in a parking lot in Fairhaven. When he got out of his truck to get fresh air, Carter ordered him back in. He did, and he died.
In June 2017 a district court judge found Carter guilty of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced her to 15 months in prison. She has remained free while her case was on appeal.
The high court on Wednesday found that the facts of the case support the judge's verdict.
"The judge could have properly found, based on this evidence, that the vulnerable, confused, mentally ill, eighteen year old victim had managed to save himself once again in the midst of his latest suicide attempt, removing himself from the truck as it filled with carbon monoxide. But then in this weakened state he was badgered back into the gas-infused truck by the defendant, his girlfriend and closest, if not only, confidant in this suicidal planning, the person who had been constantly pressuring him to complete their often discussed plan, fulfill his promise to her, and finally commit suicide," Kafker wrote in the decision Wednesday, February 6.
At trial the judge said that the last cell phone conversation between Carter and Roy as he was in the Kmart parking lot in Fairhaven prompted him to find her guilty, but that the text messages leading up to it provided valuable context.
Roy, who suffered from depression, had previously made several suicide attempts but had always backed out.
A text message exchange quoted by the Supreme Judicial Court shows Roy, who split time between his mother's house in Fairhaven and his father's house in Mattapoisett, thinking about suicide but hesitant because he was worried about the effect it would have on his family and on anyone who might find his body after he died.
The text messages are quoted verbatim below. The abbreviation "idk" stands for "I don't know."
Victim: "I have a bad feeling tht this is going to create a lot of depression between my parents/sisters"
Defendant: "I think your parents know you're in a really bad place. Im not saying they want you to do it, but I honestly feel like they can except it. They know there's nothing they can do, they've tried helping, everyone's tried. But there's a point that comes where there isn't anything anyone can do to save you, not even yourself, and you've hit that point and I think your parents know you've hit that point. You said you're mom saw a suicide thing on your computer and she didn't say anything. I think she knows it's on your mind, and she's prepared for it"
Defendant: "Everyone will be sad for a while, but they will get over it and move on. They won't be in depression I won't let that happen. They know how sad you are and they know that you're doing this to be happy, and I think they will understand and accept it. They'll always carry u in their hearts"
Victim: "i don't want anyone hurt in the process though"
Victim: "I meant when they open the door, all the carbon monoxide is gonna come out they can't see it or smell it. whoever opens the door"
Defendant: "They will see the generator and know that you died of CO. . . ."
Victim: "Idk I'm freaking out again"
Defendant: "I thought you wanted to do this. The time is right and you're ready, you just need to do it! You can't keep living this way. You just need to do it like you did last time and not think about it and just do it babe. You can't keep doing this every day"
Victim: "I do want to. but like I'm freaking for my family. I guess"
Victim: "idkkk"
The court rejected arguments that Carter may have acted as a "reasonable juvenile," that legally she couldn't be held liable for Roy's death since she was 30 miles away at the time it occurred, and that Carter's communications with Roy are protected by the guarantee of free speech in the First Amendment of the federal constitution.
The case is called Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter, or "Carter II." (A previous appeal in the case also resulted in a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision, known as "Carter I".)
Carter could appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court on federal grounds.
A lawyer for Carter could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, which submitted a friend-of-the-court brief supporting free speech, could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
[Editor's Note: This story will be updated or superseded as additional facts and comments become available.]
Anne Fox, president of Massachusetts Citizens for Life, which opposes making assisted suicide legal, called the Carter case "very sad," adding: "We as a society should be able to help people so they will not resort to killing themselves."
"In this case, Michelle egged on the young man, which encouraged him to commit suicide. One would hope she was thinking only about affirming him, not about the consequences," Fox said in an email message to New Boston Post.
She noted that a bill that would make physician-assisted suicide legal in Massachusetts has been filed in the state Legislature. The bill, HD. 171, has 58 sponsors in the 200-member legislature.
Supporters of the bill say it would provide terminally ill patients with a dignified way to end their life. But Fox said the Carter case decision highlights the devastation of suicide.
"One would hope this decision helps to show society's abhorrence of suicide and of anyone helping or encouraging another to commit suicide," Fox said. "This should make legislators think twice before voting for a bill which would encourage doctors to help people kill themselves."

Madonna Accepts Advocate for Change Award
This might just be Madonna's most meaningful award yet.
On Saturday, the pop icon was named the newest recipient of the Advocate for Change Award at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards ceremony in honor of a lifetime of accelerating LGBTQ acceptance in popular culture and beyond.
"Growing up I always felt like an outsider, like I didn't fit in. It wasn't because I didn't shave under my armpits, I just didn't fit in," Madonna, 60, said in her acceptance speech, after being introduced by A League of Their Own costar Rosie O'Donnell.
In her speech, the singer also paid tribute to her first dance teacher and mentor.
"The first gay man I ever met was named Christopher Flynn," she said. "He was my ballet teacher in high school and he was the first person that believed in me. That made me feel special as a dancer, as an artist and as a human being. I know this sounds trivial and superficial but he was the first man to tell me that I was beautiful."
Madonna added, "He took me to my first gay club in downtown Detroit. I told my dad I was having a sleepover at a girlfriend's house — that got me grounded for the rest of the summer."


Season So Far – Slippery Slope?
As we enter February on the back of the worst run of the season, the games become ever more crucial for Blackpool. In the last mini-review on 3rd January I'd surmised that we were ahead of the game in terms of the number of points on the board and felt that even as few as five points would be a good return from the rest of the January fixtures against Birmingham, Liverpool, West Brom, Sunderland and Man Utd. After all, with four of those matches at home, five points would be the minimum the Seasiders would chalk up, right? Wrong.
Disappointing home defeats to Birmingham and Sunderland were unexpected, and while the double over Liverpool was completed, narrow losses at the Hawthorns and against the champions-elect have seen 'Pool walk away empty-handed from five of the last six games. All of these defeats were only by the one goal, some consolation in the form of the side's goal difference, but it's a run Ian Holloway and his team will be looking to arrest before the situation starts to look bleak.
The two games that bookend this month are without a doubt the obvious 'six-pointers' and victory in these games would probably be a satisfactory return. This would take Blackpool onto 34 points by the end of February, while at the same time helping to deny their rivals catching up. West Ham's activity in the transfer market could give them a lift, while Wolves will be expecting nothing less than three points when they entertain 'Pool at Molineux. Failure to win at least one of these two games would be a concern, while two defeats does not bear thinking about.
The trip to Goodison Park is unlikely to be easy, with the Toffees' form sure to pick up at some point you would imagine. Aston Villa, with the help of Darren Bent, look to have improved in recent weeks and following the war of words between Holloway and Gerard Houllier, that could be a hard-fought encounter. The mid-week visit of Spurs is perhaps the hardest of the lot, and any points taken from this match must be considered a bonus.
I've said on so many occasions this season that a certain run of fixtures could be season-defining, and each time the statement feels truer. Halting the decline is a must, and one would hope that the reinforcements added by Holloway will help 'Pool achieve this. Blackpool have yet to go more than three games without a win all season, something only Man City and Arsenal can match or better, but that record is in danger when the Hammers come to Bloomfield Road this evening. Preserving this record would go a long way to reaching an acceptable points tally by the end of the month, and in turn survival.

I am not what you would call "skinny." I have never been skinny, and I will probably never be skinny. And I'm okay with that.
I am physically active five days a week. I jog, strength train, and practice yoga. I eat quite healthy, but also enjoy the occasional cookie. I can safely say, I am in okay shape.
Sure, there are days when I compare myself to others, get sad, and think too much about it. But if I had to deal with the crap celebrities do, I don't believe I would be a very happy person.
Recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Mindy spoke out about how she has been called brave, a pioneer, and courageous for her fashion choices and general outlook on weight.
"You go girl!" comments and tweets to me because of this interview I did in Vogue. Where I said this thing that didn't seem controversial at all to me, which is that I am a woman who is always trying to lose a little weight, but I don't want to be skinny.
And people were like, "That's so great that you said it!" But that's like every woman I know, feels that way [about losing a little weight].
Most women do feel this way, that it would be nice to lose a few pounds (or many).
I run and work out. It takes a lot of effort to look like a normal/chubby woman.
If she is living a healthy life, then she's being a good role model, not being courageous.
So I did this new style, you know, showing a little midriff. And, unless you have problems, for most women that is a nice little area right under your bra.
And people were like, "Oh." First of all, some people, mean people, people were pretty mean about it. But then some people were like, "Isn't she's just so courageous?" Aren't surgeons courageous?
Her point is valid. She shouldn't have to justify something she wears or be called brave for doing so. Does Hollywood call Angelina Jolie brave for wearing a dress that shows a little leg? Probably not. Mindy doesn't need to hear people telling her that her fashion choices are courageous.
If anything, focus on Mindy's healthy lifestyle – celebrate that.
She is probably like most of us; she just wants to feel pretty.
And Mindy, you do. You look damn good!
